Not getting enough sleep impacts your ability to focus. It makes it harder to stay on task and come up with new ideas. It also affects your ability to make decisions. Like, you know when there’s something that you need to do, but you keep deciding to watch Netflix instead? Getting enough sleep can help with that.
If you get enough sleep, your work will be better, your focus will be better, and you’ll have more willpower. All of this stuff leads to better self-discipline.

One tendency I’ve noticed about a lot of us who are into self-development is that we are incredibly hungry for information.
Some of us may have had neglectful parents or an upbringing that was very scarce, we may have not gotten the encouragement for self-betterment, we have no one around us who are striving for the best — so we want to consume and process all the information, methods, tips, and tricks we can.
I think that’s great because being deeply desirous to change yourself is better than being apathetic and lethargic.
Unfortunately, this over-consumption of information can become gluttony. Gluttony then leads to lethargy, which then leads to sloth and not doing anything with this information.

Porn Addiction is being severely underestimated.
How do I know this?
Because most people believe that in order to get rid of this addiction, all they have to do is keep trying over and over again, until eventually things will just ‘click’ and their brains will finally become rebooted.
Very few are treating this as a true addiction. They just see it as a habit they want to break.
This is evidenced by the stubborness of many, relying purely on willpower for months, only to constantly reset their counters and beat themselves up for not making any progress.
Most people don’t realize how incredibly difficult it is to completely remove artificial stimulation (of any kind) for the rest of their lives. We’re talking about years and years of brain conditioning here.

When you wake up in the morning and see your room a mess do you typically look at your room and go “Ugh, Fuck i need to fix my room” You groan a bit then lazily clean your room just enough to look decent.
The reality however is that you want to clean your room. If you didn’t truly desire self improvement then you wouldn’t bother with things like this, as you technically don’t need to. So you want to clean your room but you don’t say it to yourself.
Next time try this. Wake up and say “I want to clean my room” “I want to get out of bed” “I want to do my work”.

It sounds simple, but when I’ve realized it – it helped me a lot. I’ll try to share it.
The root problem with many productivity issues is being constantly overstimulated.
People often tell “I was doing nothing the entire day instead of working” while the truth is that you were not doing nothing. You were stimulating your brain all the time using social media or something else.

I photograph a lot of people. Almost everyone believes they are ugly. Your grandmother. Your child. Your best friend. Most models. Most actors. Maybe even you.
“Oh, don’t take my photo, I’ll break your camera!” laughs the 80-year-old grandfather. When he dies a few months later, his grandkids will treasure this reminder of his “ugly mug.”
“Please delete this,” says a dear old friend. She looks beautiful. She looks like herself. She’s been captured in a moment in which she is utterly comfortable in her skin. And she hates it.
“Oh God,” I said, because I had to get a professional headshot for work. “I have a face like a slapped ham,” I told the makeup artist I hired because I’m so hideous that I can’t bear to have photos of me around.

Have you ever felt as if you’re not progressing? As if it’s impossible to catch up to be where you want to be?
Or you know you’re moving forward, but not as fast as you expect?
“By the age of XX, I should have/be ______“
Then if that doesn’t happen, we beat ourselves up.
We drown ourselves in misery.
We wallow in sorrow and label ourselves as “failure”, where in fact, we were the ones who set an unrealistic deadline in the first place.

I heard this quote by Naval Ravikant and it really stuck with me. I have lived by these words the last month and my personal progress has been astonishing. My mental clarity, energy and confidence have exploded.
– To counteract mental overstimulation, look over your mental diet. Minimize screen time and social media and be selective with what you allow into your mind. Take time to reflect, meditate and disconnect from all external input for some time daily.

1. No, he/she isn’t the only one. There are millions of people. Go meet more. Those aren’t your only friends. They are just your only friends NOW. You can make more, and often better, friends.
2. Molehills, not mountains. Keep things in perspective. You might feel shitty because you fucked up about this one thing. In a year you probably won’t remember it and it will be inconsequential unless you keep chastising yourself for it. Everyone else is too busy being paranoid about themselves to have to remember every stupid thing you did.
